Datang: Begin with Li Shimin as a father

Chapter 92
Dog Day's Cheng Yaojin, it's really a pot that can't be opened!
It's no wonder Li Shimin is happy.

Suddenly Yaojin changed the subject.

Li Shimin instantly turned from anger to joy.

"Your Majesty, today is different from the past. His Royal Highness the eldest son is highly educated and rich. To be honest, I have already learned from Chu Mo that His Royal Highness is the real author of the song "Sauvignon Blanc" that is now well-known in Chang'an."

"Your Majesty, I think that with just that poem, His Highness can hang and beat any talented young scholar from their seven families. The top scorer in the imperial examination this time is none other than Your Highness."

"..."

Cheng Yaojin made a rainbow fart, making a bang and bang sound.

The smile on Li Shimin's face became wider and wider.

Everyone likes to hear compliments.

"What Zhijie said is true, and I also feel that Gen'er is really talented. Although he dare not say that he is the number one scholar in high school and the title of the gold list, it is not a problem."

"Your Majesty, the 7 taels of gold?"

Seeing that the glass cup in front of Li Shimin was running out of water, Cheng Yaojin immediately picked up the teapot and filled it.

"Zhijie, if Gen'er confirms that the answers to the questions are correct and the handwriting is neat, then it is only natural that he will top the high school list in the post-examination."

Li Shimin picked up the glass cup, took a sip and said.

"Your Majesty Shengming, Your Majesty Shengming!"

Cheng Yaojin was so happy that he almost knelt down to Li Shimin.

"Zhijie, this is a hundred times the odds, a whole 1 taels of gold? Zhijie, to be honest, I'm worried that you won't be able to carry it!"

Li Shimin changed the subject, how could Cheng Yaojin not know the meaning of these words.

So in the imperial study room, the two monarchs and ministers started a bargaining mode.

In the end, a result was reached that both the monarch and his subjects were very satisfied with.

"Your Majesty, where are the five of them?"

"Zhijie, you can talk about this matter yourself, and don't mention my original intention until it is absolutely necessary."

Cheng Yaojin nodded and agreed.

"If you have nothing else to do, go and finish the contract first, and send all the contracts of their families to me."

"Hey! Minister, let's go!"

Cheng Yaojin left the imperial study in a hurry.

After half an hour, he returned again.

Li Shimin looked at the six contracts in front of him and laughed happily.

Since Gen'er is so confident, then as a father, I should give him some face, right?

There is actually no gold content in posting the test.

Relying on rote memorization and neat handwriting.

As long as you pass this one, you can take the second poetry test.

There is actually no essential difference between the top and bottom of the list.

Even if you are at the top of the posting scriptures list and fail the poetry and fu list, you will not be able to participate in the third trial strategy exam.

These people just like to gamble with this, and they have made a lot of money over the years.

Just because of their aristocratic families, they have a large number of outstanding young children, as well as the common people who came to worship.

In the past, the people they delineated were all people with outstanding literary talents and full of knowledge.

Today is different!
As Cheng Yaojin said.

Li Gen is the biggest variable.

The ten examiners appointed by Li Shimin in advance are determined to admit young talents with real literary talent.

And this post has passed the test!
In an irrelevant exam, Li Shimin can still play tricks.

As long as Li Gen is on the list, everything will be fine.

"Zhijie, if there are other matters, you can step back. If there is news, I will send someone to pass it on to you."

Cheng Yaojin saluted respectfully, and when he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered about Ma Zhou.

So, he briefly reported to Li Shimin about Ma Zhou.

"what!"

"Gen'er really said that if Ma Zhou failed the imperial examination this time, he must be appointed as the prime minister in the future?"

"Your Majesty, the words really came from the mouth of His Highness. When Chu Mo asked again, His Highness kept silent, but told Chu Mo that Ma Zhou can be handed over, and he will become a great weapon in the future."

After Cheng Yaojin stepped down.

Li Shimin sat alone in the imperial study and thought for a long time.

Li Shimin remembered Ma Zhou's name in his heart.

Within the tribute courtyard.

At this time the examination papers are in progress.

The ten examiners who mark the papers are all talented people.

They are also Li Shimin's trustworthy people.

Even so, in order to ensure that the examiners will not be bribed.

For all candidates, the test papers have not been reviewed before.

The examiner is not allowed to leave the Gongyuan.

This is also the perfect strategy that Li Shimin racked his brains to come up with.

"Zhongda, Li Gen is also a student of the Imperial Academy?"

After hearing what Lu Deming said, Kong Yingda turned around with a smile.

"Deming, have you marked his exam paper?"

Although Kong Yingda didn't say it clearly, Li Gen was a student of the Imperial Academy.

But in just one sentence, it contains a lot of information.

This is not only a student of our Zijian, I am also very concerned about his grades!
At the beginning, Lu Deming and Kong Yingda were invited by Li Shimin, the King of Qin, into the Palace of the King of Qin.

The two are both one of the eighteen scholars of the Qin Palace, and they have worked together for many years, teaching the young Li Chengqian the Confucian classics together.

After Kong Yingda said a word, Lu Deming continued to mark the examination papers with a smile.

Originally, Lu Deming didn't want to ask about it, but this test paper has neat handwriting and superb calligraphy. The whole test paper is pleasing to the eye at a glance.

Lu Deming quickly confirmed that the answer was correct.

"This volume should be the top volume!"

Lu Deming's words surprised all the examiners!
The top and top papers are the most excellent examination papers.

Not only must the answers be correct, but the entire examination paper must be flawless.

The most important thing is that among the ten examiners who mark the papers, at least five of them must agree to be regarded as the top paper.

Marking examiners seldom give grades to the examination papers.

Because there was an upper examination paper.

The other nine examiners gathered around Lu Deming and prepared to mark the papers one by one.

"Master Kong please first!"

Wei Zheng is the only important member of the imperial court among the ten examiners, but Wei Zheng respects Kong Yingda very much.

"Xuan Cheng first, please, Xuan Cheng is the only official with real power here, we are all ordered by the emperor to select talented people for the Great Tang."

Kong Yingda's words made everyone nod in agreement.

"In this case, Xuan Cheng will read it first!"

Wei Zheng knew that it would be a waste of time to continue being humble like this.

Lu Deming got up and Wei Zheng sat down.

"Good, good, good!"

After careful inspection, Wei Zheng spoke.

"Xuan Cheng agrees, this volume should be the top volume!"

Of the remaining eight, regardless of age or prestige, Kong Yingda dared to be the second, and no one dared to be the first.

After everyone gave way, Kong Yingda sat down unceremoniously.

Kong Yingda looked down at Li Gen's examination paper.

There is a kind smile all over the face.

Kong Yingda stroked his beard with his right hand and nodded approvingly.

This little guy really caught him by surprise.

The handwriting is neat and the answers are correct!
Can't fault it really.
